Ryan Griffiths

CEO & Founder

Whilst studying a BSc in Business and Management at Royal Holloway University of London, Ryan found a passion in keeping a fit and healthy lifestyle. Ryan’s inspiration for Atlas Eco stemmed from the March 2020 Lockdown, where he sourced equipment and maintained his fitness routine without access to mainstream gyms. He learned and developed a series of low impact sustainable building practices; sourcing second hand materials and shipping containers as his unique workout spaces. Now, 2 years down the line, Ryan’s vision has come to life: Atlas Eco Gym, where he is determined to create a sustainable off-grid workout space for the community to enjoy and maintain their healthy lifestyles.
